How do I create elasticsearch indexes for ruby projects?

Question

I've gone over this: https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-ruby/tree/master/elasticsearch-api#usage

The given example for creating an index is`

client.index  index: 'myindex', type: 'mytype', id: 1, body: { title: 'Test' }

I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find any descriptions of the parameters, ie. index, type, id, body. I'm just not sure what type of information is supposed to be represented there. I'm guessing index: is the name you're giving to the index, but the rest I can't get a lead on. Also, I'm unsure of how you would normally implement these index's into a rails app, ie. what type of files are they normally put into.

Thanks in advance for any help!

if you are using the elasticsearch ruby api, you should read through the source on creating indicies. — a-b-r-o-w-n

The documentation at http://rubydoc.info/gems/elasticsearch-api/Elasticsearch/API/Actions#index-instance_method lists all the parameters and has examples.

For Rails integration, have a look at the elasticsearch-model gem. It allows you to integrate Elasticsearch with your Rails models.
